    Additional verses:
     
  • As the verses unfold and your soul suffers the long day,
    And the twelve o'clock gloom spins the room, you struggle on your way.
    Well don't you sigh, don't you cry,
  • Lick the dust from your eye.
     
    Life's a long song.
  • Life's a long song.
    Life's a long song.
    We will meet in the sweet light of dawn.
  •  
    As the Baker Street train spills your pain all over your new dress,
    And the symphony sounds underground but you under du - ress.
  • Well don't you squeal as the heel
    Grinds you under the wheels.
     
  • Life's a long song.
    Life's a long song.
    Life's a long song.
  • But the tune ends too soon for us all
    But the tune ends too soon for us all
     
  • Ending:
